Assurance Services

Compliance and security are complex fields, with standards and jargon that aren’t necessarily transparent to your customers as the clear differentiators they are. How can you make sure that your customer understands that your processes have been assessed for risk, effectiveness, trust, and service?

Through Assurance Services.

Engaging Drummond Assurance Services, in conjunction with any of Drummond Group’s compliance or security services, lets your customer know that everything is as it should be, and to the highest standards. Our comprehensive service eliminates duplication of effort, leverages client familiarity, eases procurement, and lowers your cost. These same services reduce administrative burden on both sides, and quality is ensured.

Let Drummond Assurance Services improve the quality and context of information available to your customers about your compliance and security environments.

SOC 2 reports can also address additional subject matter such as as your organization’s compliance with HITRUST, HIPAA, NIST, PCI-DSS, or the Cloud Computing Matrix standards.

What kind of SOC report do you need?

You’ll need to consider the nature of your organization, your objectives, your system(s), the service(s) you provide, and any relationship you have with subservice organizations.

If your priority is your customer’s internal controls over financial reporting, you should choose to have a SOC 1 exam performed.

If assurance to your customers regarding your principal service level commitments and system requirements is something you need, you should choose to have a SOC 2 exam performed.

If assurance over your cybersecurity risk management program and how it meets your objectives is what you require, then SOC for Cybersecurity is a fit. SOC for Cybersecurity is a public use report and is appropriate for all types of all types of organizations.

GDPR

In effect since May 25, 2018, GDPR changes everything about the way business handles personal data. The monumental challenges this presents to business — and the monumental penalties for getting your compliance wrong — mean that there’s no place better across your business to implement Assurance Services than in your GDPR assessment and compliance practice.

We can help you to leverage your prior compliance activities, and power-assist you on the way to achieving and maintaining GDPR compliance.
